White gold 

An alloy of pure gold and other metals, which also is the source of its colour. White gold presents itself with a slightly dark silvery tone, and is a modern and sleek choice. For 18k white gold, the alloy consists of:

  • 75.0 % pure gold 
  • 7.5 % copper
  • 3.5 % zinc
  • 14.0 % palladium

Our white gold rings are coated in rhodium, another noble white metal which provides both protection from scratching and surface lustre.

 

925 Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver combined with copper, zinc and platinum to increase the strength and hardness of the silver.
